UPnP Servers
Setting up UPnP Server in PC
1. Use Windows Media Player 11(or 12 if you use Windows 7)to setup
the PC as an UPnP Sever, click the ‘Library’ tab from Windows Media
Player 11 and select ‘Media Sharing’ to open the ‘Media Sharing’
window to set the option.
2. Your PC will now prompt you that a device has attempted to connect
to your UPnP server. Please click Allow button.
Note: As of this writing, Windows Media Player 11 does not support
AAC decoding used by Apple as the default selection in iTunes. We
recommend that you change the default import setting to WAV, AIFF, or
MP3 formats for maximum compatibility across many devices. You can
set Windows Media Player to mirror your iTunes folders. (In Windows
Media Player, see Tools>Options>Libray tab>Monitor Folders) Windows
Media Player 12 (for Windows 7) does support AAC.
